Our prototype implements a natural language dialog system for Excel spreadsheets. the work is motivated by a pilot study which shows that novice users have difficulties withthe formula language of Excel and need interactive assistance. JustLingo1 allows spreadsheet calculations in ordinary, written English. Furthermore, users can extend the system functionality by explaining of the calculations to the prototype. the keyword-based system analyzes the input using natural language processing techniques and translates it into Excel formulas. It asks for missing information such as operands and target cells and provides alternatives if there are ambiguities. It also handles references to previous inputs, allowing step-by-step construction of calculations. An evaluation shows that it properly resolves 82 % of references and correctly interprets 79,5 % of overall user input. Although far from perfect, the prototype demonstrates that computers may soon begin to take on simple, limited-domain programming tasks based on natural-language input. (C) 2016 the Authors.

Due to business and environmental issues, industrial players are under a pressure to take back the product after its use. kloreover, the significance. of transportation cost and customer satisfaction spurs an interest to develop a flexible network design model. this paper proposes an integrated logistics network model withthree kinds of delivering paths. Minimizing the total costs reveals a mixed-integer linear program As a solution methodology for the proposed NP hard problem, memetic algorithm is considered with a neighborhood search mechanism and a novelty in chromosome representation as one of the major issues can affect the performance of mernetic algorithm.

In this paper, a simple graphic method is mentioned and then used to solve the problem of two-dimensional fuzzy linear programming. Besides, we discuss the set of feasible solution constituted by constraint function. Based on this analysis, some regularities are obtained for an optimal solution. At last, an applied model that can be solved withthe proposed method is found in science diet and health care.

Container transportation is a significant guarantee to the realization of many international trades and playing a significant role in the transactions across borders. Empty container allocation and management relate to the degree of container utilization, the cost of empty container disposition expenses, adaptation for containers of goods sent in a timely manner and enterprise economic benefits. through rational empty container allocation, you can reduce transportation costs under the premise of meeting the heavy container of normal transportation. At last, we could help shipping companies minimize the cost and maximize profits. Under the background of multimodal transport, this article consider of the lowest cost of the empty container allocation and minimal time of total deviation as the goal, establishing a bi-objective programming model. And through the mathematical programming software Lingo, the model is followed by a numerical example, which shows that this model is feasible.

the purpose of this paper is to describe the results of a photovoice evaluation of a robotics and programming project for prekindergarten (RAPP). RAPP researchers developed and implemented the program at three urban childcare centers in six teacher's classrooms. All of the teachers of prekindergarteners and rising prekindergarteners had opportunities to use the robot, KIBO, during implementation. Photovoice, using ten RAPP teachers, provided visual images as evidence and promoted sharing knowledge and experiences. Teachers submitted photographs of their children engaging with KIBO and participated in two discussions withtheir researcher concerning the pictures. At both times, the discussions were audio recorded and summarized. Researchers concept mapped the interviews to identify and communicate common themes. In order of importance to the teachers, the children when using KIBO were engaged, worked independently of the teachers and cooperatively with classmates, were persistent, learned academic knowledge and skills, and developed problem solving skills.

this article is devoted to nonlinear single-path routing problems, which are known to be NP-hard even in the simplest cases. For solving these problems, we propose an algorithm inspired from Game theory in which individual flows are allowed to independently select their path to minimize their own cost function. We design the cost function of the flows so that the resulting Nash equilibrium of the game provides an efficient approximation of the optimal solution. We establish the convergence of the algorithm and show that every optimal solution is a Nash equilibrium of the game. We also prove that if the objective function is a polynomial of degree d >= 1, then the approximation ratio of the algorithm is (2(1/d) - 1)(-d). Experimental results show that the algorithm provides single-path routings with modest relative errors with respect to optimal solutions, while being several orders of magnitude faster than existing techniques.

this paper proposes a novel framework for the identification of the radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) after radiation therapy (RT) using 4D computed tomography (CT) scans. the proposed methodology consists of four components: (i) elastic image registration;(ii) segmentation of the lung fields;(iii) extraction of functional and texture features;and (iv) classification of the lung tissues. the registration step locally aligns the consecutive phases of the respiratory cycle using an elastic image registration approach based on descent minimization of the sum of squared difference similarity metric. Secondly, lung fields are segmented using a hybrid framework that integrates an adaptive shape prior model, a first-order intensity model, and a second order homogeneity descriptor of the lung tissues. Next, regional features that describe boththe texture features using the novel 7th-order Markov-Gibbs random field (MGRF) model in addition to the lung functionality features (e.g., ventilation and elasticity) are estimated from a segmented lungs. Finally, a random forest classifier (RF) is applied to distinguish between injured and normal lung tissues. To evaluate the proposed framework, we used data sets that have been collected from 13 patients who had underwent RT treatment. Experimental results demonstrate the promise of the proposed framework for the identification of the injured lung region, and thus hold the promise as a valuable tool for early detection of RILI.

Computational systems are nowadays composed of basic computational components that share multiprocessors and coprocessors of different types, typically several graphics processing units (GPUs) or many integrated cores (MICs), and those computational components are combined in heterogeneous clusters of nodes with different characteristics, including coprocessors of different types, with varying numbers of nodes at different speeds. the software previously developed and optimized for simpler system needs to be redesigned and reoptimized for these new, more complex systems. the adaptation to hybrid multicore+multiGPU and multicore+multiMIC of autotuning techniques for basic linear algebra routines is analyzed. the matrix-matrix multiplication kernel, which is optimized for different computational system components through guided experimentation, is studied. the routine is installed for each node in the cluster, and the information generated from individual installations may be used for a hierarchical installation in a cluster. the basic matrix-matrix multiplication may, in turn, be used inside higher level routines, which delegate their efficient execution to the optimization of the lower level routine. Experimental results are satisfactory in different multicore+multiGPU and multicore+multiMIC systems. So the guided search of execution configurations for satisfactory execution times proves to be a useful tool for heterogeneous systems, where the complexity of the system means a correct use of highly efficient routines and libraries is difficult.
